The Mounties always get their man, according to the saying – and now they’ve also collared a cycling husky. Or more accurately, a person riding a bike dressed in a dog costume.
CBC reports that after a husky mascot outfit was stolen from the Prince George Humane Society animal charity earlier this month, there have been a number of sightings in Prince George, British Columbia, of someone wearing the costume while riding a bike in the city.
Susan Phillips, a local schoolteacher who spotted the canine cyclist and hadn't realised the costume had been stolen, told CBC: "I thought of Wile E. Coyote. This is downtown Prince George. You never know what you're going to see. So I smiled and kept driving.”
The outfit for the charity’s mascot – named Chance, and who appears at events to help raise funds for it – would cost between $3,000 and $5,000 to replace, but public sightings helped the Royal Canadian Mounted Police track it down on Sunday.
RCMP Corporal Sonja Blom said: "A female was arrested at that time; however, she has been released without charge pending further investigation."
